INGREDIENTS: 1 pound ground beef (95 percent lean) - Do not defrost frozen ground beef at room temperature, but overnight in the refrigerator.
1/4 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs
1 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split

1/4 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Slaw Topping:
1/2 cup romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded red cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
1. Wash hands under warm water with soap for 20 seconds. Dry with paper towel.
2. Combine Sesame-Soy Mayonnaise ingredients in small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Make sure cold foods are kept at a temperature below 40 F.

3. Wash lettuce, cabbage and carrots. Chop using a clean knife and cutting board designated for raw foods only.

5. Wash hands under warm water with soap for 20 seconds. Dry with paper towel.

6. Combine bread crumbs, egg white, salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in large bowl, add ground beef and mix together lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties. Place patties on clean plate. Wash hands and utensils under warm water with soap for 20 seconds. Dry with paper towel.
